Default Where can i get my car key made?

I lost my only set of keys for my s2000 last sunday . Anyone know where i can get them made around the 626 area? I dont want to tow it to the Dealer. I have a spare key but it's not chipped, so i can't start the engine. What can i do? Any help would be great guys! Thanks in advance

I think if you go to any Honda dealership with your title/registration/ID, they will be able to make one for you (all they really need is a VIN to create one). The other paperwork is required as proof of ownership, obviously.

Your going to need to goto the dealer to get it made... Be prepared to spend around 125-150 for the key then another 50-100 for programming... Yea its BS, i called up 4-5 dealership inquiring about getting a spare backup key and they were all 200-250 for the key and programming.

wow, 150 to program it at the dealer?? spirit quote me around 50 bucks for programing alone since i have an oem spare key (just not chipped with my car). The thing is i have to tow it there and my car is too low to be towed.

AAA premium towing. Request a flatbed tow truck.

yeah that was about the same price they gave me... So far, towing it is the only solution. Hopefully someone else have another solution. Thanks for all the input so far guys
